Tupelo Divorce Attorney Services Include:
Contested Divorce
Divorce can be extremely complex and emotionally charged; many times it presents legal issues that cause conflict between the involved parties. It’s important that you are properly represented in a divorce to ensure strong, knowledgeable representation that can achieve the best possible outcome. Our years of experience enable us to achieve an equitable result that reflects your best interests and protects the rights of you and your children.
Flat Fee Uncontested Divorce
In an uncontested divorce, individuals have already agreed to all terms and conditions of the divorce before beginning the process and want the documents drafted by an expert. Our attorneys will help you prepare all necessary forms and documents and file your case in the appropriate court.
Collaborated Divorce
In a collaborative divorce, parties use mediation and negotiation to achieve resolution for all terms of the divorce. If both parties are willing, this process reduces the need for litigation and therefore lowers the cost and time of the divorce process.
Legal Separation
Couples choose to pursue a legal separation for a number of reasons. Some use it as a first step toward a divorce, some cannot divorce for religious or personal reasons so choose to legally separate instead. The important distinction is that when a couple is legally separated, they are still considered legally married. They cannot remarry, they retain all benefits of marriage (social security, inheritance, pensions) and mark themselves as married on legal forms.
Mediation
Mediation is an out-of-court dispute resolution tool that helps both parties identify and work through divorce terms in which resolution is needed. This structured process helps couples negotiate sensitive issues while minimizing friction in order to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. The goal of mediation is to help parties settle differences in order to complete their divorce out of court in a less expensive, faster, and less stressful way.
Property/Asset Division
Dividing property in a divorce can be a very complex, sometimes contentious process. In addition to physical items and bank accounts, property division includes such items as retirement accounts, pensions, real estate, business ownership, and more. Having an experienced attorney is essential to ensure an equitable distribution.
Child Custody
Child custody can be one of the most difficult, contentious parts of a divorce. Representation by an experienced child custody attorney is critical to protecting both your rights and the rights of your child.
Child Support
Court-awarded child support in Mississippi is determined according to statutory guidelines. We can help you navigate all issues relating to child support, including any need to go to court to obtain a modification to a previous support order or to help you oppose changes to an existing order.
Spousal Support
Mississippi has different types of spousal support (alimony), and many different factors are considered by the court when deciding which if any support is justified. Our office will make sure we compile the evidence needed to accurately support your case.
Paternity
Paternity involves establishing the identity of a child’s biological father. Once paternity is established, our office can make sure the appropriate steps are taken to protect your child’s best interests.
Orders of Protection
No one should ever feel they are at risk of physical harm, harassment, or unwanted contact. We will help you obtain an order of protection (restraining order) if and when it becomes necessary.
Enforcement and Modifications or Court Orders
Failure to comply with one of the above agreements or changes in life situations may necessitate modification of or legal enforcement of the court order. Our skilled team will aggressively pursue compliance with court orders in order to protect the well being of you and your children, as well as pursue modification of orders to reflect changes in your spouse’s financial (or other) situation.
